I'm in shock.. I actually agree with Superbelt.
The argument for minimum wage is that it is the minimum amout of money a person in an area can live on and keep the minimum living set down by the government.
Minimum wage has not kept up to the inflation rate. Now you can say so increase it. Well the problem is increasing minimum wages doesnt just hurt small business, but it increases the price for every single item you can buy. So this in itself increases inflation.
Big businesses can absorb this hit (the dip in funds until market prices can balace it. Small businesses will cut back their workers, or flat out close.
Sure, increase the minimum wage, in all honesty I dont care because it wont allow them to buy a new car, they'll be in the same spot as they were before. But you cant allow the small businesses to be crushed just because Kerry has yet to find an actual platform other than the not-bush vote.
